Our Pattern Language (OPL)

Indeed, this is just an overview of a language, OPL, for describing patterns in parallel programming. As the article listed, OPL has the benefit of guiding framework design, providing a consistent method for communicating concepts, and helping newbies become familiarized with parallel programming. For sure, the structure and organization of layers will provide context when we start diving into the more specific parallel programming articles. But for now, this just lists patterns within the OPL framework without describing them.
